Media notes
Recorded using RODE on i-phone. That's my attempt at mimicking the call half way through. Douglas-Fir, Lodgepole Pine forest, north-facing slope. Species not confirmed at time of recording. Returned to same location two days later (2017-05-06), and heard same call, and identified female SSHA. Male flew joined her; they perched side-by-side briefly, then copulated. Male flew off and gave typical SSHA call from a distance. Female continued to give recorded call. Both birds in adult plumage, though female eye-color was still yellow-orange. SSHAs successfully nested nearby in 2014.
